I can't speak for Rancho's side of things, but no can taking here.
No silly, you don't take the can per se, you take it in the can. If you do which you most likely don't. Rancho's ass on the other hand is getting Forbes'd hard.

Why would TAK buy a hunting rifle?
I replace valve cover gaskets every 50K, if they don't need them sooner...

I may still purchase one in 25-06. Dependent upon what your bunghole measures by the time this is over. Travis

I never knew MT had so many broke-backs. Maybe steers and queers do go together.

forbes is aware of the issues they have along with Melvin but I dont think you will see them get involved in these issues on a public forum .........if you have a problem with one of their products call them i am sure it will be addressed I think they better get involved in the public forums. How many hundreds of guys are going to read this thread about a crappy $1500 rifle? Those guys that read this thread are going to tell how many of their buddies? I wanted to try one but I will keep buy Sako finnlights instead. Dink

I'm far more interested in reading how rancho makes out and how the company handles the obvious screw up.

I'm far more interested in reading how rancho makes out and how the company handles the obvious screw up. Speaking as the only person I know of who has had two successive faulty Forbes rifles, I fully expected to be contacted via pm on this forum. I wasn't. They have lost an opportunity to make things right with people who were willing to risk money on their new company. Posting publicly is a two-edged sword, but reaching out to customers is not. They didn't. The funny thing is I was willing to risk trying a 3rd Forbes, but didn't. The one I had my eye on also had to be returned for failure to feed and bad stock finish issues. This is not a case of piling on, but it is one of poor workmanship and poor customer service.

Seems to me a business should contact its customers directly via personal email or phone vice through a public forum. The customer can then relate the events events through the forum if they choose. There are far too many forums for companies to spend their time chasing down potential interactions.

Let's take a step back for a second....
Rancho received a rifle with some bedding issues and an issue with failure to extract. In my opinion, he should have received the rifle back by now. Everything should stop and customer service issues should be priority one. He should receive a new stock, a sufficient bedding job and the issue with extraction should he completely resolved. This should be a very quick fix, no excuses.
Forbes (Titan) was watching this thread some time ago. In my opinion, they should have joined in, been apologetic and assured us these issues would be resolved with future production.
I could be wrong -- but the stocks are made by Melvin, not Titan. It would be interesting to know if Forbes receives the stocks fully inletted or that's their baby.
I still have no doubt Forbes will resolve the issues at hand....and I have no doubt it will shoot better out of the box than any Kimber I've ever seen.
Let's hope for Rancho's sake that everything comes back perfect. If not, he should be reimbursed in full -- no questions asked.
The irony in this thread -- Rancho isn't the one crying. He's posted photos and been extremely patient. We've all been overly critical (including me), while Rancho has taken everything in stride...
I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!
